knife guards
i have a problem with devices that do what they're supposed to do badly. unpacking a bag after a long road trip i pulled out a knife. i didn't know there was a knife in there. it didn't feel like a knife. cause it was inside a knife guard device. it was a sort of plastic taco shaped object that wrapped around the blade. except the sharp edge of the knife was on the open end of the taco part. so when i tugged on it, the business end came out ad bit me. great. now i'm bleeding. i don't blame the knife. the knife was just doing what it does naturally. the knife guard however failed.
